Data center provider CleanCore Solutions (also known as Zone) has signed a 10-year colocation agreement with wafer-scale AI chip company Cerebras.

Announced on July 29, the contract is for CleanCore's data center campus in Minnesota and will be fully leased by Cerebras.

In other news, Cerebras has been selected by CrowdStrike to power its AI security platform.

The Cerebras deal with CleanCore is expected to generate approximately $800 million of contract value over the initial 10-year term, with the potential to exceed $3 billion, including renewal terms.

The data center campus will offer 55MW of utility power and 40MW of compute capacity once fully built out. Currently, 15MW of compute capacity is available. The remaining capacity will be online by Q1 2027, when CleanCore also expects to see its first revenue.

"This second development marks an important milestone in advancing our portfolio of critical digital infrastructure to secure compute capacity for Cerebras and other premier AI companies," said Tyler Hassen, CEO of Zone. "Building on our previously announced project in West Texas, this Minnesota campus expands Zone's infrastructure footprint to meet the urgent power needs of customers."

CleanCore's West Texas data center was announced earlier this month. The company is developing the data center with HST Technologies, with the first phase to offer 200MW. Ultimately, it is targeting 500MW by 2030.

While CleanCore describes itself as a company that is "helping to build the critical infrastructure that powers the AI economy," its website lists a variety of product offerings for "cleaning and disinfection practices."

The company pivoted to data centers in June, with the announcement of a new CEO - Tyler Hassen - who will help the company to focus on "building critical AI infrastructure across the United States " and "move away from its cleaning products business and its previously announced Dogecoin treasury strategy."

In September 2025, CleanCore acquired 285,420,000 Dogecoin, approximately $68 million worth, as part of the aforementioned treasury strategy.

The capacity agreement comes just a week after Cerebras revealed it had been selected by CrowdStrike to support the security company's Falcon AIDR platform.

In a LinkedIn post, Cerebras' founder and CEO Andrew Feldman said: "Faster inference gives security AI time to observe live telemetry, call tools, validate evidence, and act before the window to respond closes. Cerebras was built for this: inference up to 15x faster than leading GPU-based solutions. Falcon AIDR on Cerebras brings that speed to one of AI’s most important applications: protecting the enterprise in real time."
